THEY STOLE OUR REVOLUTION
NOW WE'RE STEALING IT BACK

@MoinCyberTales What's important is to avoid having one part of system having what you describe -- "ambient authority" to do too many things. Right now we do that with agents, but that's because it's hard not to think of them just acting on our authority, with similar master powers.

@MoinCyberTales Far wiser folks than I can explain this better, but there are a number of strategies, the simplest being a key-cutter that can only hand out narrow, one-off keys carved for a certain purpose. In the LLM case, you narrow the inputs to that device.

@ciphergoth well it's funny you should say that...

Inkhaven Day 1 - Reading Machiavelli's Letter to Francesco Vettori for InkHaven
@mala had Claude write some footnotes
https://t.co/E5PMmvE4wp .
Due to copyright Claude was too chicken to annotate the modern translation we used, so it did its own translation from the wikisource Italian! Got another public domain translation now :)

Nate Silver was, once again, right about everything

He claimed a D+13 to +14 popular vote would give Democrats 56 seats in the Senate and 265 in the House

They won 56 seats in the Senate and 261 in the House

I was planning on holding off on this announcement until the project was farther along, but I'm excited to announce that I've been working on a new programming language called Phil, and the team at @Higherdotfun_ is supporting its development.

Incredible @mala, his & @farzanehbad Terminal Values.

@growing_daniel In the dotcom bust it was amazing how the freeways just *emptied*. I agree it also got a lot more fun and creative.

Back in a 2020 podcast, I asked Ronald D. Moore, who wrote for Star Trek: TNG and DS9 (you might also know him from Battlestar Galactica) about the economics of Star Trek:

Pretty wild, given that in the 90s cryptowars to argue code should be protected under the 1st amendment, we had to argue that it *wasn't* a munition...

Hopefully there's a way to AND these results rather than XOR them.

We believe access to capable open-source cyber models is our constitutional right as Americans under the 2nd Amendment.

It is our duty as technologists and patriots to help protect the digital infrastructure that powers the world's largest economy.

As such, we’re serving our cyber models “at-cost”, in US data centers only, with ZDR enabled by default.

We do not plan to make money serving these models.

If you run a company that is considering how to best protect against cybercrime, reach out to me or @atbeme. We’d be happy to advise.
